Word from Media Blasters @ Otakon: Del Rey (Random House) has rights to the novels for US distribution.
Edit 8/20 - correction = MISTAKE. Not licensed. Baka....... ;_; Rest of this thread is moot.

I'm truly amazed -- I didn't think anyone would jump on them. I'm curious how they'll be done, though.

Yay!! All we need next is an English version of the Seikai no Monshou novels and I'll be in heaven drinking beer with Tentei!

It could take a while for them to translate, though, since these are novels and not manga... I'd rather they take a long time and translate accurately and well rather than do a sloppy job. ^^;

This is awesome news indeed. I too hope they take their time to be as accurate as possible. Hopefully not too long. ^_^

This is one of the only bits I could find:
Media Blasters tidbits (Saturday, August 9th, 2003 @ 06:51 PM EST): John said that Del Rey has the Twelve Kingdom novels. This is probably through the publishing deal they have with Kodansha. He also said Media Blasters would think about getting the manga relating to the show that they release.

Sorry, there was no published article besides what Media Blaster's rep stated at the Otakon panel (which I heard through a different con staffer since I couldn't go to Otakon ^^;;). And the AoD thing. I imagine an official statement would be made later. If the MB rep was wrong, let's lynch 'em!
kidding, kidding ^^;
